Specimen collection: An essential tool

Luiz A. Rocha, +123 more
- 23 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: Collecting biological specimens for scientific studies came under scrutiny when B. A. Minteer and colleagues suggested that this practice plays a significant role in species extinctions.
Journal ArticleDOI

High outcrossing rates maintain male and hermaphrodite individuals in populations of the flowering plant Datisca glomerata

TL;DR: High outcrossing rates in two androdioecious populations of D. glomerata are reported, when analysed with respect to existing evidence concerning pollen production and inbreeding depression in this species, are sufficiently high to satisfy theoretical requirements for the maintenance of androdiaecy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny of Acridocarpus-Brachylophon (Malpighiaceae): implications for tertiary tropical floras and Afroasian biogeography.

TL;DR: Dispersal‐vicariance analysis and divergence‐time estimates suggest that the basal acridocarpoid divergence occurred between African and Southeast Asian lineages approximately 50 million years ago (mya), perhaps after a southward ancestral retreat from high‐latitude tropical forests in response to intermittent Eocene cooling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogeny and circumscription of the near-endemic Brazilian tribe Microlicieae (Melastomataceae).

TL;DR: The members of tribe Microlicieae in the flowering plant family Melastomataceae are nearly all endemic to the cerrado biome of Brazil, which implies an adaptive shift from hydric to seasonally dry habitats during the early evolution of this group.
